FURTHER N.Z. RECRUITS
NORTHERN DISTRICT OVER 3000 ENROLLED MEDICAL EXAM IN ATI ONS (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, this day. Over -100 young men volunteered today at various centres in the northern military district, a result which was considered to be very eneouragi'Ug. This number of enlistments brought the aggregate to 3048 after two days of recruiting. Generally speaking, the types who offered themselves for service with the special military force were very good. It was found that, of those who were medically examined, approximately 25 per cent were ranked as medically unfit, principally because of dental trouble.
It has been laid down that any man would be considered'dentally fit provided he was required to have not more than three hours of dental treatment. If he needed a longer period of treatment, he would be classed as dentally unfit, at any rate for the first draft. Recruits will be given dental treatment free of charge.
